Title: Improved Means for Cleaning Feed Water Heaters for Locomotive or other Boilers.
IPC: F22B37/52
Filed: 1910-11-14
Granted: 1911-11-14
Abstract: 26,425. Marks, E. C. R., [Trevithick, F. H.]. Nov. 14. Feed-water, heating. -The clack - valve of a locomotive or other boiler is adapted to be raised so as to allow water or steam from the boiler to pass back through the feed-heater in order to clean it. The clack-valve d is formed with a recess e, in which a shoulder f on the end of a screwed spindle g fits loosely, so that, while normally acting as a non - return valve, the valve may be raised by the spindle to allow water or steam to pass from the boiler to the feed-heater. The spindle is prevented from being screwed in too far by a cap l fixed to the head of the spindle and engaging with shoulders on the nut n.

Granted: 1912-05-30
Abstract: 13,185. Cole, S. W. June 1. [Cognate Application, 25,851/11.] Lift valves; hinged valves; actuating.-To prevent suction on the false bottom of a mash tun, the discharge pipe is fitted with an adjustable valve which is opened by the pressure of the wort, and closes when the pressure falls. The adjustment may be automatic and arranged so that the pressure required to open the valve varies with the level of the wort in the tun. The valve 4, Fig. 1, is carried by a stem 5, acted upon by a spring 9 to raise it but pressed down by a lever 7 and an adjustable counterweight 8. The valve may be held down by an adjustable spring, and may be in the form of a pivoted flap. The counterweight may be replaced by a casing 27, Fig. 4, adapted to be moved by clock-work along the counterweight lever. The flow of wort may control the movements of the counterweight, by a hanging piece 40 carrying a pin 41, which contacts with the fly 32 when the lever 33 is horizontal but is free of the fly when the lever is inclined, owing to the closing of the valve. In place of the hanging piece 40, a pivoted tube containing mercury may be used to start and stop the clock-work. The counterweight may be replaced by a vessel containing liquid which is allowed to flow out slowly The exit orifice may be controlled by a hanging piece so that the liquid flows out only when the lever is inclined.

Title: Improvements relating to Valve Gear for Steam Engines.
Inventor: STUMPF JOHANN
IPC: F01B17/04
Filed: 1911-06-26
Granted: 1912-02-15
Abstract: 14,928. Stumpf, J. June 26. Cam gears. - Relates to valve-gears in which means are provided for varying automatically the lap or its equivalent in proportion to the variation in the angle of advance so as to afford adequate portopening with an early cut-off. The invention is described chiefly in connexion with valves operated by cams on reciprocating rods. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 3, the admission valves c are operated from cam rods d, d<1>, the exhaust being controlled by the piston. The eccentric-rods f<2>, f<3> of the eccentrics f, f<1> are connected to rocking- levers p, p<1> jointed to the rods d, d'. The levers are mounted on eccentric disks o, o<1> on a countershaft h, a rod h<2>, and a crank h' connecting the shaft h with the casing v of a differential gear on the crank-pin c. The pinion u being fast with the eccentric - sleeve, a n y adjustment of the shaft h effects simultaneous and proportional variation of the lap &c., and the angle of advance. Instead of the eccentric disks o, o<1>, the levers p, p<1> may be pivoted in blocks adjustable in curved guides. In a modification, the two valve-operating means may be connected by threaded rods and a turn-buckle adjusted by means co-operating with the eccentric-adjusting devices. In a further modification, employing only one eccentric, the second rocking-lever is linked to an intermediate point on the eccentricrod, the two levers being mounted on crankpins on the countershaft. Referring to Figs. 9 and 12, the cam-rods c' are connected by a turn-buckle c<2> connected by toothed sectors and links to the eccentric-adjusting rod k. For adjusting the eccentric f, the rod k has inclined teeth engaging similar teeth on a sleeve e<3> which is thereby moved axially carrying with it the sleeve e<2>. The sleeve e<2>, which slides on the pin c, terminates in an oblique thread e<5> for actuating the eccentric f. In the vertical marine engine shown in Figs. 16 and 17, four eccentrics f ... f<111> operate concentric shafts o ... o<111> connected to the valve-rods by links D ... D<111>. The shafts o ... o<111> are carried on an eccentrically-mounted spindle O. A shaft v<4>, fitted with a hand-wheel V<5>, carries worms V<3>, V<6> by which the differential casing connected to the eccentrics f ... f<111> and the spindle O are simultaneously adjusted. Figs. 18 and 19 show the application to a non-reversible engine. Each main eccentric d, controlled by a governor r on the shaft a, operates a rocking-lever o connected by a rod t to a knuckle-plate &c. s. The lever o is mounted on an arm k on a countershaft w which is adjusted simultaneously with the eccentric d. For this purpose, a nut c turning with the eccentric d engages a sleeve b constrained to move axially. The sleeve b engages a sleeve e having an internal thread engaging the fixed screw g, the angular displacement of the sleeve b being transmitted to the shaft w.

Title: Improvements in Automatic Ladder Fire-escapes.
Inventor: BERTHOLD OTTO
IPC: E06C9/08
Filed: 1911-08-15
Granted: 1911-12-14
Abstract: 18,456. Berthold, O. Aug. 15. . Ladder escapes.-Consists of a ladder adapted to be suspended from a window sill, and formed in rigid sections, which slide over one another when the ladder is extended for use. The ladder is supported by brackets c, d, Fig 1, which are clamped against the wall by means of a screw provided with an operating-handle. The ladder sections e are connected together by pivoted links l, Figs. 1 and 3, the upper ends of which are provided with rollers k engaging the angled upper ends h of longitudinal grooves g in the ladder sides. In order to release the ladder, the first pair of rollers k nearest the window is forced over the angles h, and thus allowed to run down the grooves g of the first section into the inclined lower ends i thereof, the bevelled ends of the first two sections then engaging with one another, as shown in Fig. 3. The first pair of links l thus assume a vertical position and release the next pair of rollers k. In this way the sections of the ladder are released successively and allowed to fall into the operative position, the motion being retarded by spring-controlled bars acting upon the rollers k. Projecting from the ladder are spring buffers adapted to abut against the wall. In order to increase the stability of the ladder, each section may be provided with upwardly-projecting arms, having cross-ribs, which engage corresponding notches in the section above when the sections fall into alinement.

Abstract: 2307. Grant, A. E., and Prescott, S. I. Jan. 29. Reservoir pens.-A self-filling fountain pen is provided with a hollow plunger 8 serving as a permanent ink-reservoir, and with a barrel or temporary ink-reservoir 3 having a glass lining 11 adapted to resist ink corrosion and to furnish a smooth sliding surface. The transference of ink from the barrel to the plunger or permanent reservoir after the ink has been sucked into the barrel is facilitated by the formation of a number of capillary grooves 20 in the interior of the plunger. A capillary ink-duct 7 is formed in the feed-bar 6 and deepened at its forward end so as to form an auxiliary ink-reservoir 7<1> adjacent to the aperture 2 of the nib, and the end of the barrel 3 is extended so as to form an air-duct 5 between the nib 1 and the extension 4. By this arrangement the ink lying in the auxiliary reservoir 7<1> normally seals the aperture 2 so that air can be admitted to the pen through the aperture 2 and air-duct 5 only when a certain amount of the ink lying in the reservoir 7<1> has been used up. When the pen is not in use, the air and ink ducts are closed against leakage by the co-operation of the bevelled ends 15, 16 of the feed-bar 6 and plunger 8, which are locked in contact by the engagement of a screw-cap 17 fitted upon the rear end of the plunger with a plug 14 at the rear end of the barrel 3.
